Altar Servers
Children and youth serve the altar during Mass and other Holy Day celebrations. Boys and girls, 4th through 12th grade, are invited to take part in this ministry.
We are always looking for new altar servers, so if you are interested, please contact Deacon Stacy Millsap at the parish office at (361)993-4053 or email deaconstacy@stpiusxcc.org.
